Sentence-Forming Songs
2009/07/10
I was reading a music blog when I saw a song called "Julia" by the band The Very Best. The way it was displayed on the site I read it quite naturally as "The Very Best Julia". I wondered then what song titles would create complete sentences when combined with their band names. Here is a collection of the most interesting ones from my music collection. (Note: some band names must be read as plural to make sense.)
